    What's the best/least expensive place to get GFO? I am setting up a reactor and can't decide where to buy from. Anybody got any tips?

    Thanks! Would you suggest BRS for bio pellets as well?

    I would suggest BRS for GFO/Carbon/2 Part, but would not suggest their bio pellets. They are made through a solvent based extraction method, much like a lot of other bio pellets on the market. And tend to clump for no reason.

    I highly suggest using Warner Marines EcoBak, if you are looking into using bio-pellets. They are made through a water based extraction method, are patent pending.
